Allez zou, je marche sur les platebandes du daron...
Je vous propose une sélection extraite du bouquin d'O. Cachin,
100 Albums cultes Soul, Funk, R&B, (Tournon).
Ce bouquin est passionnant, truffé d'anecdotes par album, artiste, interviews, bruits de couloirs de studio, potins etc...
Je me contente donc d'en copier le sommaire, dans lequel j'ai trouvé quelques références surprenantes...
La discussion est ouverte quant à savoir si vous trouvez ces LP cultes, ou pas.
